8 Nov ‘53 This is a good time to plant the outdoor lily of the valley. #gardening

A neighbour of mine who has wide drifts of lily of the valley among the azaleas and primulas of his beautiful woodland garden says that he never plants them at all. #gardening

But just throws them down on the surface with a very light covering of leaf-mould and leaves them to find their own way down into the ground. #gardening

They have queer habits; I tried to grow them under trees, which is their natural condition; but they seem to prefer coming up in the middle of a stony path. Plants are really most unpredictable. #gardening

The ordinary old English lily of the valley has the sweetest scent of all, but the large-flowered variety called Fortin’s Giant has its value because it flowers rather later and thus prolongs the season by about a fortnight. #gardening

"Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born."

I’m Jewish. I lived in New York for a decade. I am very, very concerned about antisemitism.

I have no doubt that Zohran Mamdani would fight to protect my life and my rights. I have no doubt the ADL has entirely failed to protect me and my family from fascists.

I know where my allegiance lies.

What he said: 💯 🎯

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

Enough said!

Plant community gardening with nature at its heart How I've grown a low effort, high impact wildlife garden without any chemicals, watering and barely any weeding

💰 Lawmakers quietly handed the Pentagon $156 billion a year through Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.

The catch? It lets defense contractors collect automatic budget hikes without public debate.

Let people see Jack Smith for who he is and not the characters depicted by Trump and others.

JUST IN: The White House has begun DEMOLISHING portions of the East Wing of the White House to build Trump’s $250 million ballroom — despite earlier claiming it wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing White House structure. (Washington Post)

Destruction of the White House East Wing began today. Here it is in better times with better residents.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

This is very much worth your time to watch this. Both Jack Smith and Andrew Weissman are excellent role models.

Andrew Weissman conducted an interview with Jack Smith. Thanks to @msnbc.com and Nicole Wallace we get to see snippets of said interview.

Why do they cover trump ad nauseam but we only see bits & pieces of someone as extraordinary as Jack Smith? Why?

The media fails us every fvcking day.

Jack Smith just gave an interview to Andrew Weissman and he was fantastic. Spoke his mind. Told the truth. Laid it out on the table. Talked about Trump prosecutions. It was like a breath of fresh air. I doubt the committee will want him to testify in public for them.

This is the kind of person we need as Attorney General: someone with clear vision and the courage to act.

It was never about going after the “worst of the worst.” It was always about cruelty.

Half of Ireland’s rivers, lakes and estuaries in unhealthy state as standards slide again Agriculture, sewage, chemicals and physical damage all threatening nature’s waterways

48% of Ireland's waterbodies are so polluted, contaminated with chemicals, choked with algae, deprived of oxygen, lacking in species variety or physically altered and damaged that they fail to meet minimally acceptable standards.
